Alright all of you healthy eaters, it’s week two and I’m here to plan your dinners for next week. Last week was all about black beans and spinach, this week is all about sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and kale. Mmmm, mmmm, good! Good for you, good for your budget, and good in your mouth. Can you ask for more than that?

I’m going to share five quick, simple, and healthy recipes with you, and I’ll give you some prep tips and suggest the order that I’d eat them, although you can do whatever you like. You’ll also see a shopping list that you can print, and some side dish recipes if you feel like making them.

Meal Plan for the Week

Shop on Saturday or Sunday. On Sunday look over the recipes and dice and chop the vegetables so they’re ready to go. Make the Sweet Potato, Kale, and Lentil Soup and the hummus for easy Monday and Tuesday night dinners. You could also make the brown rice for the Root Vegetable Power Bowl, Swift Sweet Potato Curry, and the Bombay Chickpea Stir-fry. Note: The stir-fry recipe doesn’t call for brown rice, but you can add some to the dish to make it heartier if you like. Keep all of the prepped and cooked ingredients in airtight containers in the refrigerator.

This delicious, healthy, and simple soup takes approximately forty-five minutes to make. The lentils add protein and the sweet potatoes and kale add a ton of flavor and nutrients. Serve it with a warm loaf of whole grain bread.

These are perfect for Taco Tuesday, even if they aren’t officially tacos. If you’re not a fan of spicy food you can tone down the heat by slowly adding the pepper until you get it just right. Instead of making this with spinach, make it with kale. This vegan quesadilla recipe takes approximately thirty-five minutes. Serve a small salad of chopped spinach or kale with tomatoes and salsa next to it.

This is a quick and easy dish that tastes like it took hours to make. The Indian spices are so fragrant. Serve this with brown rice is you want a heartier meal. This recipe takes aproximately forty minutes to make. NOTE: Make your own Masala spice mix or buy it pre-made.

Hi Lena, I'm assuming he eats solids? If so, you could prep beans and lentils, sweet potatoes, cooked carrots, cooked spinach, peas, and grains. Give him a balanced mix of protein and carbs, with lots of colors on his plate. My kids are in their 20s, but Alex will definitely raise her future kids vegan. When mine were old enough to eat solids I'd give them small pieces of whatever I made for my husband and myself. They ate all kinds of fruit and veggies because of that.
